Notes for Getting It Right

  • Squeeze the liquid out of the topping before using.
  • Use a hot pan so the bread crisps quickly.
  • Add grated cheese on top for a richer version.
  • Eat it straight away, as the crispness fades.

Ingredient Swaps

  • Dried chilli flakes can stand in for the green chilli. Heat varies a great deal between chillies and between jars, so start with a small pinch and add more to taste.

What Goes With Masala Toast

  • Masala chai
  • Green chutney
  • Tomato ketchup
  • Fruit

Keeping and Reheating

Best eaten straight away. The topping mix keeps in the fridge for 1 day.
